Many people compare this film with the 1968 version, and think that apart from the enhancement of special effects, it is far from the classics. I can’t comment on it, because I haven’t seen it in 1968 and I don’t know how it can be shot in that era. Science fiction blockbuster.
In the first scene of the film, I saw the orangutan driving the spaceship. It was very funny. I thought it was an invader. It turned out to be just an experiment, and the orangutan, a clever species, "it is natural" to become a test product. The idea of mankind is-only when it is safe, it is mankind's turn. In 2029 AD, in order to find a larger living space, human beings went to other planets to develop. On the way to find a suitable planet, human beings began to train orangutans to complete some simple tasks instead of human beings. When encountering a cosmic storm, humans sent the orangutan to explore the way. The orangutan lost contact with the main cabin, so the male protagonist drove a small spacecraft to the center of the storm to search for the orangutan. This in itself is an almost impossible operation. How could a trained astronaut make a joke about such a thing. Therefore, he suffered "retribution", falling from the supreme kingdom of mankind to an unknown planet, a planet where mankind is ruled by apes. On this planet, humans are inferior species and are taken into slaves by apes. Watching orangutans dislike humans for being dirty and smelly, fearing that humans are diseased, that humans become pets, and have beautiful collars, this feeling is really familiar, just like humans disagree with animals.
The hero takes a few human beings to prepare to flee, desperately wanting to return to his planet, cold-blooded. On the contrary, there is a maternal orangutan who shows a character that is more noble than human beings. She sacrificed herself all the way to help them escape, and her fate would be disastrous. There is a very ridiculous feeling. When humans want to use orangutans, they are basically inanimate in their eyes, but when they become slaves to orangutans, they talk about equality and peace with them. The only sentence that I feel moved is " Monkeys should not be sent to do what humans are supposed to do", but everyone knows that this is just talking, no matter how emotional they are, they will not really be treated equally.
The American spacecraft fell all the way from space to a certain week, but people were fine. I have to say that money is the basic guarantee of science and technology. When money is used, there will be no tofu project. In the earthquake in Sichuan, the century-old house did not collapse, Beijing was flooded, and the Forbidden City was not affected at all. It is hard to laugh.
The protagonist finally left his orangutan without looking back and "snatched" its small spacecraft back to the earth, only to find with amazement that he had returned to the earth many years later, as if it had been occupied by modern apes. The film also spoofed Lincoln's sculptures and made them look like apes, but Lincoln's long face is indeed very similar. Self-righteous male protagonist, at this moment, do you think it is better not to go back? This is a very unflattering male protagonist.
